Disney, mermaids and having fun
The coloration on this thing is phenomenal. Saw this bird during one our trips to Animal Kingdom. It is in the bird house part way through the Maharajah Jungle Trek.
I just love the colors on the bird and I was ecstatic that it decided to perch on a pillar right beside and I was able to grab this pic.
I wish the flying rats here Canada looked that nice.
Man I love cats – especially big ones.
I am going to try something else new to supplement the Magic Memory Mondays and Thinking Disney Thursdays posts.
In keeping with my alliteration theme I have been trying to decide if I should try a Wild Wednesday or Wishing Wednesday. Wild would be animal themed photos and posts and Wishing would be pictures and thoughts that get me thinking about going to Disney World. I really can’t decide which to do so I will start with Wild today and see how things go from there.
So back to the big cats – Disney World has a few places to see big cats – Animal Kingdom has Kilimanjaro Safari comes to mind with the lions and the cheetahs but they always seem pretty shy whenever I have been on the ride. So the Maharajah Jungle Trek is my place to see the big cats – tigers to be exact.
Now the tigers can be elusive some days too but some days you can get really lucky. The day I took this picture was one of those days. One the tigers was wandering around the main fountain and caught it taking a drink and surveying the area.
Love the markings and the quiet strength – just awesome. You can just tell that bugger can just move it wants to. Maybe that is one of the reasons I am drawn to the big cats – most long distance runners are gazelles. Me? Not so much. But the tigers remind me that big carnivores can run too and they can sometimes catch the gazelles, if they are smart and strong and keep pushing.
That being said no one is going to mistake my running style for that of a graceful cat either. Three legged elephant maybe?
